X-Ray Detectors
High-performance X-ray detectors designed for precise measurement and analysis in scientific, industrial, and research applications.
X-Ray Detectors
High-performance, compact X-ray detectors are designed for precise measurement of X-ray spectra in applications such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and other analytical techniques. Most models are compact, thermoelectrically cooled, and optimized for low noise and stability. They support a wide energy range and can be integrated into OEM systems or laboratory setups for accurate elemental analysis and imaging.
Amptek Detector Selection Guide - How to choose between our high performance, compact X-ray detectors, Si-PIN, Fast SDD and CdTe detector varieties.
The FAST SDD® represents Amptek’s highest performance silicon drift detector (SDD), capable of count rates over 1,000,000 CPS (counts per second) while maintaining excellent resolution.
The Si-PIN is a high performance thermoelectrically cooled X-ray detector. It is typically used in X-ray spectroscopy applications requiring moderate energy resolution and moderate count rates where cost is important. It is well suited to many XRF applications such as identifying metal alloys, verifying RoHS/WEEE compliance, and detecting lead in paint.
Amptek’s CdTe Detectors have high stopping power that makes it excellent for applications requiring high detection efficiency at energies up to 100 keV.
Amptek is announcing the introduction of Boron Carbide (B4C) windows for use with Amptek’s FAST SDD® and SiPIN detectors. The product offering is the result of a multi-year effort to provide end-users and OEM manufacturers with a high-performance window alternative to standard beryllium (Be) foils.
